Top pick: #7 (CODE WEST) - He rallied to finish third when debuting here in a sprint on August 12th. The Baffert barn brings him back in three weeks and has him working fast for this stretch-out attempt. The horse to beat.
2nd pick: #5 (Greeley Awesome) - Colt showed improved speed last out and will stretch-out in distance with blinkers added. Price play is dangerous on the front-end.
3rd pick: #4 (Cinco de Mario) - He's an uncoupled barn-mate of "Awesome" and was much improved last out went sent two-turns on the turf. Bet in all three outings, he moves back to the "poly" and Gomez is back on the re-ride.
4th pick: #2 (Lawyer Gabe) - Colt by "Any Given Saturday" raced evenly in his debut at this level and distance on the turf and was beaten just over 3 lengths. Trainer Jeff Bonde has good stats in the relevant catagories and he moves him to the "poly".
